1. Someone

Should have choked her out with a rear submission.

2. We're never going to make it...

This could be our finest hour

But - no

We never would have won WWII

[Aristus]

9. I disagree.

Assholes existed back then, too.

They had hoarders back then.

They had MAGAts back then; their MO was to deny American citizens the basic privilege of citizenship: military service, unless it was segregated, as with African and Japanese-Americans.

They had unpatriotic crooks back then, gangsters who heisted military supplies and sold them on the black market. Counterfeiters who took advantage of the war's rationing program to print counterfeit ration books, stamps, and stickers.

They had cowards back then; guys who deserted their units when their buddies needed them most.

They had bullies back then; assholes who went around beating up any American with a German or Italian name, or anyone who looked Japanese.

They had lazy slackers back then. Guys who 'leaned on their shovels', when all around them, their co-workers created miracles of industrial war production.

They had sleazy opportunists back then; unscrupulous women who married multiple servicemen in order to get the spousal support allotment from their husbands' military pay.

We really haven't changed all that much...

70. They didn't have a Retrumplican Party welcoming them with open arms and

declaring them freedom fighters and Patriots.

So there is that difference.

[USALiberal]

72. She's the definition of a Karen

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. You can do better than this.

[roamer65]

22. We store body fat for a reason. That's our evolutionary way.

As hunter gatherers we store fat for the dry periods without food.

I just suggested she uses some of it. It won’t hurt her.

[BuddhaGirl]

62. Are you fat? Deformed? Or anything else?

I hope nobody would shame you.

We should be better than that, right?

[roamer65]

73. I said no different than a doctor would tell HER or HIM.

They all tell us to stop smoking, lose weight and get exercise.

They are right.

[LanternWaste]

76. The difference is the doctor maintains a sincere concern for a patient's well-being

The difference is the doctor maintains a sincere concern for a patient's well-being, rather than merely pretending to be clever at the expense of advertising their own fundamental character flaws.



But I understand the need to recast simple petulance as part of the physician's creed.

You were fat-shaming, and now you're dodging.

You can be better than that.

71. Classy, nice to see how you think. Nt

[obamanut2012]

44. stop it

[bbernardini]

4. York has not been looking very good this week.

Mind you, this is the town where the (Democratic!) mayor was encouraging people to go out to eat and shop in mid-March. Nice beef jerky outlet there, though.

[MineralMan]

5. Restaurant Calls Cops; Trespasses Her Ass.

I didn't see any cops there. That's the solution. Just call them.

[bluestarone]

29. EXACTLY!!!

To add that if this idiot would have taken a swing at the police, she would have been CHARGED with disorderly conduct OR Assault!! Why they didn't call the police is beyond me!

[BusyBeingBest]

6. Cheddar Bay biscuits make people crazy.

[HAB911]

13. they have enough palm oil in them to choke a camel

but they are tasty, lol

[niyad]

54. I have a very good recipe for the biscuits. No need to enter the establishment.

[tonedevil]

80. Those biscuits are good...

but isn't it odd that the best and most famous dish on the menu at a seafood restaurant is biscuits.

[Alex4Martinez]

7. Oh please tell me this crazy woman isn't somebody's actual mother.

Poor children.

[jalan48]

8. I would have just given her back her money. It wasn't worth it and dangerous as well.

[demmiblue]

12. They were going to give her a refund, but they told her she had to wait outside. n/t

[jalan48]

20. Thanks for that info. Looks like she wanted to be Drama Queen for the Day.

[milestogo]

10. What does "a karen" mean?

[CanonRay]

17. Crazy entitled white women

[Amishman]

35. Karens come in any race/ethnicity

But yes; entitled, belligerent, with completely unreasonable expectations, and no grasp of reality.

[MontanaMama]

26. This slang dictionary post on what it is to be a Karen explains it nicely.

https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/karen/

Karen has a stereotypical haircut too. Her male counterpart is named Chad. Lots of funny Karen videos on YouTube. I think it’s hilarious. So glad my name isn’t Karen in real life however

[LakeArenal]

55. Exactly. It's a larf when it's someone else.

[milestogo]

58. Now that I know what it is, I really don't like it.

[LakeArenal]

59. Thanks.

[bedazzled]

75. I know fron personal experience it sucks to have that name

Thanks for having a heart. It is not called for

[LakeArenal]

37. It's based an a haircut. It's actually quite sexist.

There is no haircut they call Dick.

[PTWB]

50. Really? There are similar male nicknames.

[LakeArenal]

52. Not related to a woman's haircut that is very common.

[Whiskeytide]

53. Yet I have been known to refer to some guys as "dick heads". n/t

[LakeArenal]

56. True enough. But it's not like Dick is necessarily a dick.

Karen is supposedly a crazy woman shouting rude things at folks.

Anyway. I’m not arguing. I think it’s sexist.

[smirkymonkey]

66. Who always demand to "see a manager, immediately!"

[tinrobot]

74. I kind of recoil at the word 'Karen' becoming a pejorative

There are a lot of very nice people named Karen.

[Pacifist Patriot]

99. Me too. I would not be amused if my name was Karen.

[jberryhill]

88. A white woman who deserves mockery

It is a pejorative term which is applied to white women. Like "bitch", but more specific to a type of white woman.

[demmiblue]

91. Karen is Becky's sister.

[spanone]

11. America, the not so beautiful

[Fullduplexxx]

14. The media could not be played

[tavernier]

15. Ok, just being a little devil's advocate here for both sides...

If she truly had to wait three hours for a plate of shrimp and French fries, or whatever her order was, then there were more problems at that restaurant than a short staff. Her order probably got lost and she no doubt would never get it. On the other hand, after an hour’s wait, she should have knocked on the door and asked for her money back, or the manager should have responded to her concern in some way. There are so many other ways this could have been resolved. If we truly had a leader of this country who encouraged everyone to work for the same purpose, there would be less of these frustrations.

[LizBeth]

69. I did not watch the video, but ya. Waiting 3 hours for food is ridiculous. Short staff or not.

Virus or not. She should have been told it would be a 3 hour wait and given the option of ordering or not. And after 45 minutes I would have been done.

[Croney]

18. At least she doxxed herself.

Kathy something.

[Jamastiene]

31. She works at Penn State

Her employer should see the video. All of these assholes acting this way right now should be forever remembered for how they are acting, imo. The rest of us can be adults about things. Why can't they?

[Marrah_Goodman]

21. This is why your order ahead.

My brother called my mother on mother's day and while she was on the phone he ordered for them at a local seafood place and just said "you have a pickup time of 4:15 for dinner" She was Thrilled!!!

[Tribetime]

87. We ordered ahead on Mother's Day and still waited almost 2 hrs

It doesn't put you in a great mood

[Marrah_Goodman]

90. Wow!!!

Well that does suck.

[Jamastiene]

23. She should be arrested and charged with everything imaginable.

She obviously wasn't raised right or she wouldn't act like a damn bully and assault restaurant staff. Even five year old children act better than that.

[RobinA]

28. She Could Have

handled the situation better, but some of the staff was a bit out of line themselves. Not exactly a tutorial on how to handle customers. I'm going to have to call a pox on both their houses on this one. Yes, I've worked retail.

[Jamastiene]

30. I have worked retail too.

I thought they were doing the best they could with an oversized toddler pitching a temper tantrum, UNTIL she started hitting that one woman. Then, it was clear, she was the one that needed the time out and for the police to show up and arrest her.

[RobinA]

34. They Shouldn't Have Been

pushing her out of the store. Give her the refund and send her on her way.

[aquamarina]

24. Ah, but in this case she's not a Karen, she's a Kathy Hill

[smirkymonkey]

68. Apparently, her middle name is Karen.

For real.

[Baitball Blogger]

25. No. 1 - So glad we decided to celebrate Mother's Day with grilled steaks at home.

No. 2 - This doesn't look good as a harbinger of what's to come with business openings.

No. 3 - I wish Tammy had not grabbed that crazy Karen's hair, but it did seem to diffuse the issue.

[Jamastiene]

33. They had to do something. She was ridiculously out of control,

and assaulting people. I do agree if there was a better way, it would have been better, but wow, she was out of control. She needs to take an Adulting 101 course.

I'd rather be at home or order food I can pick up and leave and not have to experience the Trump Virus spreaders.

[Baitball Blogger]

36. A very unexpected benefit from this experience is that

I enjoy cooking, I prefer my own cooking to restaurant cooking (unless it's 5 star), and I'm saving a boatload of money.

Well, maybe not a boatload, but enough to encourage me to continue staying home.

[Jamastiene]

38. I like the way I cook my own food too.

I would rather be at home than go out most of the time anyhow. There have been a lot of bad incidents at local restaurants where I live. I tend to avoid them because of the problems with food poisoning that happens a little too often. That was before this. I would hate to think what it is like now. I do want some things, but I can find a way to make most of what I want at home. I like cooking ok, but don't have the room or money for a dishwasher. So, I am my dishwasher. THAT part, I hate, lol.

It does save money to eat at home most of the time and the food is cooking, for sure, safely, and the way you like it.

[txwhitedove]

27. Hope she didn't give anyone the virus.

[Takket]

32. I'd like to see what happened inside

I’d be pissed too about waiting three hours If no one warned me ahead of time how busy it was, and who know what happened when she asked for a refund inside. The video starts where something has already escalated and she’s being shoved out the door.

She did clearly assault the employee when she hit that one woman in the head. And I found it hilarious after the employee grabbed her hair in defense the customer said she has been assaulted and everyone was a witness lol um no. You threw the first punch!!!

[Ms. Toad]

40. ***She*** doesn't state how long she has been waiting

At least not in the only copy of the video I can find. An unidentified male yells that near the end of the video.

[Iggo]

48. We don't know that.

If she threw punches inside like she did outside, it might have started then.

Or some other how.

We don’t know because we came in halfway.

Cops should have been called, though. And I agree, it looks like at least one of those employees is getting fired.

[Javaman]

41. no mask moron. nt

[Bayard]

42. That woman has a serious seafood need

Anyone willing to wait 3 hours for a meal best learn to cook, not throw a hissy.

Most of the staff lost their masks in the battle. Reckless endangerment and assault.

[kairos12]

43. I mean I like their biscuits too but come on. Also, she is another virus hugger.

[Grammy23]

49. Check out Pinterest.

There are many, many copycat recipes for Cheddar Bay biscuits. And I think there might even be an authentic Red Lobster mix available at some grocery stores. No need to get into a knock down drag out at the actual restaurant. Make your own. 🤷?♀️ 😉

[kairos12]

51. Thanks Grammy I will check it out. Stay safe.

[niyad]

65. I found a very good recipe for the biscuits years ago. Love them. And my grocery store has

Started carrying a Red Lobster authentic mix.

[cwydro]

46. Why didn't they just call the police?

God help all of them if any one of them in that scrum happens to be positive for the virus. Smh.

[Nature Man]

57. There is no actual requirement to eat at Red Lobster

or any restaurant. These people CHOOSE to wait as long they wait.

[Steelrolled]

60. Isn't social media wonderful?

We can now gawk at people from afar -- no need be there, to sneak a peak, or to whisper. Perhaps in the world wide web, everyone will get their 15 minutes of shame. It reminds me of what Sally Brown famously said "All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share."

[yellowcanine]

64. If she had any class she would just say no to Red Lobster.

Seriously.

[niyad]

67. Even in normal times, Mothers' Day is ALWAYS busy, with long lines, long waits, cranky

customers, and harried staff. No thank you.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

79. Look at how many of them were face-to-face...

... without masks, yelling. (Louder talking releases more droplets, as expected, according to medical studies.)

Virtual facepalm:

[cwydro]

81. Surprised no one has yet posted the video of the assault in Target.

Asshole broke an employee’s arm because he refused to wear a mask when the employees asked him to

[ChangeNHope]

85. This one?

https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/05/11/melee-erupts-in-van-nuys-target-store-after-2-brothers-refuse-to-wear-masks/

I thought I saw a thread about it here before?

The brawl was captured on security video. One of the suspects can be seen throwing a security guard to the ground and punching him repeatedly. Several customers also appear to step in to help.

The two brothers, identified as 31-year-old Phillip Hamilton and 29-year-old Paul Hamilton, were arrested on felony battery charges, police said.

Their bail was set at $50,000 each. A police spokesperson said the brothers are both homeless.

The security guard suffered a broken arm and had to be taken to the hospital, police disclosed.

[demmiblue]

89. I saw it posted here.

[cwydro]

100. Guess I missed it.

I saw it on CNN. Horrible.

[Totally Tunsie]

82. No wonder she's picking up her own food on Mother's Day.

Her kids must be soooooo proud. NOT.

Self-proclaimed 'King' ripped over response to girlfriend's refusal to buy him Red Lobster
Drunk woman stole lobster from tank at Red Lobster: cops
Woman sues Red Lobster for getting so drunk she broke a hip

........................................

The footage, shot by a bystander, shows an employee tossing the woman — who was not wearing a mask at the time — out of the restaurant. She tries to force her way back inside while screaming to get her “motherf–king” money back, video shows.

“I want my money refunded!” the woman says.

“You will get it,” one employee replies, the video shows.

The woman then curses out two employees holding her from getting back inside while again repeating that she wants a refund.

“Let me show my bill to get my refund,” the woman repeats, prompting an employee to ask for her name. She then identifies herself before reaching around a male employee and slapping the face of a female worker, setting off a scrum outside the restaurant, video shows.

The angry customer then claims she was the one who was attacked..........................................

Face to face, trying to calm the most agitated ones.
Unmasked, impatient, "I'm more important than everyone else" hothead puts multiple people at risk.

94. I didn't know what a "Karen" was, so I had to look it up.

This place is so semi-educational.

[demmiblue]

95. OK, Chad.

[Brother Mythos]

96. I found that one in the same place I found "Karen." You did not make me look again!

[desertduck]

97. This is why you order ahead and call to check the status before changing out of your pajamas.

I ordered sushi, was told it was going to be 40min. I showed up 45 min later and it was there ready to go. If he told me an hour or 2, I would have said no and driven my ass to In-n-out where I know things can get done quickly.
